Moving back to Missouri here. Jaegers. Paintball in a Cave. Cool.

Something like 4 to 6 acres of man made caves to paintball in and an above ground field when it's warm out.

Don't shoot the cave critters!

I shot my brother in law in the face once when when were 50 feet or so apart.
He was hiding behind a stack of wood when I came walking along over the hill we were on. He shot and missed. When I heard the shot I dropped and was barely covered by the top of the hill. I lied on my back with my feet pointing toward him. He shot about 7 times, all shot just miss my face by inches. Then he was just peeking and shooting so I took aim and with about 4 shots on he forth, I shot him, right below the eye. Needless to say ending the game lol.

I love paintballing. We did it in a disused cinema once, that was fun. I have also tried naked paintballing with a few friends when chemically inconvenienced. That hurt. Anyway, I prefer indoor paint balling.

Edited to correct spelling.

Do you mean chemically inconvenienced?

I love paintball but none of my friends play anymore and it is against the law to shoot a paintball gun in my county now, even on private property plus the big paintball arena in my area closed a few years back.

My gun is broken anyways.

Man.. that stinks. I'm glad paintball is legal in buffalo.

[SekoETC]

I think it's illegal in my country to shoot people with paintball guns or plastic ball guns that don't leave stains. At least the ball guns my brother has had have a sticker that says do not aim at living targets. But at a time they were very popular and just in the war playing sense. Now they're out of fashion already. My brother got shouted at for shooting his mate nearly in the eye. No goggles of course... I don't remember knowing anyone who'd had a paintball gun, just those that shoot them tiny balls (BBguns?). It can hurt a bit if it shoots at high velocity from a close distance and some were tuned up so that they would shoot longer.

BB guns? Those things, I hate.

Just like those pellet gun things, you know, those things that use C02 to launch little copper pellets at about 200 m a second? Or something very fast. I hate those. Because it doesn't use gun powder, and idiot can go in and buy as many as they want just like that.

I once met a guy who was killed with one of those.

I met him before he was killed that is.



As for paintball, always been much to expensive for me, although I've always wanted to try it. It sounds like an awfull lot of fun.

You need to be sure of 1 of 2 things.
1)Be sure you wear armour
OR
2)Be sure you can take pain.

Saftey goggles are a MUST with or without armour...

[Talapus]

You don't need armor (if everyone is playing with tournament legal guns. If the guns are non standard, all bets are off). Just make sure that you wear long sleeves, pants, and closed toe shoes. Oh, and masks or goggles are a must. The most painful place to get hit is in the throat (hence why masks are popular). And although paintballs can sometimes leave bruises, they don't really hurt, especially when you are pumped on adrenaline (frozen paintballs, and certain brands that tend not to break hurt more then standard paintballs). I don't paintball ofter because I don't have the time or money, but I feel obliged to say that outdoor paintball (especially in forests) is the only way to play.
